Chapter 2

Edward's POV (currently)

Time to move… again. This time we are moving to Chicago. It's snowy and cold there. I'll have a good time, but the girls, 'DON'T GET MY HAIR WET!' they shouted once they figured out it was snowing. I'm pretty sure Esme rolled her eyes at that one.

The house was a brick 3 story home, not including the attic or the basement. The inside was white. A little too white for my taste but whatever. It had hard wood floors until it reached the windows. Under the windows was a checkerboard design in tiles. The stairs were curving and in a black steel.

Well it shouldn't take more then one hour to get moved in, but Carlisle told the school it takes a couple weeks to get situated. I guess he wants me to get information on all the people here. Oh joy.

Right now Emmett, Jasper, Alexander,and I are having a snowball fight. (That is almost the same as my name. Mine is Alexandria.) Alice knows who is going to win but she won't tell anyone and she is blocking her mind.

I just got hit in the back. I whirled around to see Emmett looking smug. Oh is he going to regret that.

Bella's POV (in car with Cathy)

I entered the car and said, "Shut up."

"I wasn't going to say anything… except….. OH, Nick, OH how I love-." I put my hand over her mouth.

When I took my hand off her mouth I said, "Stupid annoying idiotic self-centered vampire jerk….." Yes my best-friend is a vampire. When I figured that out I was jealous. She is forever 19. Yes she turned when she was 19 but she goes to school as a 17 year old because she kind of looks like one.

The sad thing is she is all alone in the vampire world. She has 'family' members, but she doesn't have a mate. That's why I made that promise that was in the last chapter. But later on I figured that when a vampire you DON'T lose the fun. Yet I still want to keep that promise as an excuse to not get married.

"Hey! I'm not the one that gets weak at the knees over a human."

"Yeah, well at least I have somebody." I stuck my tongue at her.

She rolled her eyes in response. I don't know how we are going to make this friendship work. I don't want to be a vampire. I have a life. My boyfriend, err… soon to be husband… My mom, my other friends, my dads, and my pet dog are all important to me. What I was guessing was that we will be friends until I am 35 or something. Then she will become my daughter to the people around us.

Yet, Cathy keeps reminding me about Nick. That soon he will notice that she is not aging one bit. I told her that he won't notice anything because he is himself, not Sherlock Homes. She rolled her eyes at that too. I know that it won't work out. We can be friends until I'm 25. After that it will start looking weird. But I don't want her to go.

"There are new vampires in town. I think that they will be staying longer than the normal visitors. This means that we will be giving you extra protection until we know their diet." Cathy finally broke the silence.

"Great! I get to have my favorite group of vampire protecting me all day. Even in the bathroom!"

Cathy, and me have the same classes because her vampire parents, Harry and Ruth both 25 years old, told them to switch Cathy's classes to mine so that we can be together. Then there were Cathy's sisters and brothers, Anna and Florence, Robert and Henry. The guys don't really care for me. They're not mean or anything. They are just rude and ignore me. Anna hates me. I don't care though because Florence is the sweetest person in the world and can make up for anyone that hates you. If you wonder why Florence is not my best friend it's because I like Cathy better.

But when there is a new coven of vampires in the neighborhood its like I'm the president of the world with body guards surrounding me with every step I take. If I go to the bathroom there are at least two bodyguards there with me. I always wondered why they protect me some much. I can't even talk to Nick in fear of a shape shifter.

I wonder if Nick ever wondered why they do that. He seems used to it. Maybe more used to it then me.

"Come on Bella. I know you love the attention." Cathy said.

"Why do you guys protect me anyway?"

"Because you are the most delicious smelling human on the planet and if you died I wouldn't have anyone to complain to about my family." She took her hands off the wheel and put one hand on her forehead and the other dangling on her side.

I let out a little scream. She was going only 100 mile per hour, but she took her hands off the wheel and we were still going that speed. "Relax, silly. I'm more than capable to catch this car before you get hurt." Cathy said, but she put her hands back on the wheel anyway. "It's not like I would put you in danger."

I glared at her. She always put me in danger to see what the average human would do in a dangerous situation. She put me in the middle of a pack of wolves with a gun to see if I would use it. I didn't and I got a scar on my arm because of it. Everyone at school thought I tried to kill myself and they decided to be with me every hour. I had so many girls sleeping over my house that night. Cathy didn't even bother to help and was laughing at me the whole time.

When we got to school, Dawn, who also knows that Cathy is a vampire and is a year younger then myself, was waiting for us. Dawn moved here when she was 14 from New Jersey and she had no friends. I felt sorry for her, me being the nice, caring, generous person I was when I was 15 I befriended her.

I didn't understand why she had no friends. She was nice sweet and if a party is boring just being in her presences makes every thing more fun. I think it was because she had a weird name. But it suits her, it means sunrise or sunshine.

"Hey, did you know there is a new family that moved here last night? We have to make friends with them." Dawn said.

That's our thing. We make friends with the new comers. We have a lot of friends that way. Every new kid starts out in our group, then once we get to know them we choose a group of kids that they go best with. We never understood the group thing; I once tried to boycott it. That didn't work out well.

Everyone at school knows of us. They know what we do and they like it, because it kind of gives them more people to have as friends and then we are friends with everyone in the school. We don't isolate anyone; we make them feel like equals. It's a fun job; but we don't get paid.

When I got out of the car there were several people calling my name and say hi. I snickered and waved in the directions I heard my name. "Yeah we knew there is a new family. But Bodyguard over there says that they are vampires." I motioned to Cathy, who growled at me.

"Oh…" Dawn didn't like the idea of having a bodyguard either, Florence was her bodyguard. She has all the same classes as her.

"Come on, Sunshine. I don't want you to be putting me down any more than had happened this morning. Nick was being an idiot and didn't let me get my sleep."

"Oh right. You got a tattoo! Let me see." She grabbed my arm and rolled up the sleeve. "So simple. Did Nick get one like it?"

"No he chickened out. I'm removing it today, after school."

Dawn's face looked disappointed. She was about to say something but Florence grabbed her arm and pulled her to her class, looking around for any danger. I laughed and called, "Hi to you to Florence!"

Florence just waved a hand and disappeared with a frightened Dawn around the corner.

"Okay, Bodyguard. Time to go to class." I walked off to my class with Cathy behind.

A/N: I like Dawn. Oh and now this is a one shot, so if I don't get any reviews I'm forgetting about this.
